Scratch

I use images for scripts; they look so much better. And I can use lists and other new blocks... 

illusionist's idea is great, though; it's much easier.

Same! 

It would be easier to implement if they went with a more fancy forum system like MyBB (or even phpBB)

And 2.0 is quite a while away...

What can be done now, is to add the missing blocks, get rid of the obsolete blocks, and change Numbers to Operators! Please hurry up...

[/blocks]xD It's not a glitch.

If you look under the text box, you'll see

Adding Scratch Blocks:
To add Scratch Blocks to your post, type [blocks ] before you start and [/blocks ] at the end of the blocks.

If you don't do that, it will make everything bold. xD

Ooh, bumped!

(Almost) no one ever uses the BBCode for blocks.

Me two! Example:
`_______________
|when |# clicked|
|forever___]
| ||if <key {space v} pressed?>]
| || |[change y by (5)]
| || |[wait (1) secs]
| || |[change y by (-5)]
| || |[say {I jumped!} for (2) secs]
| ||_________________________]
|__________]
Although I do think better forum blocks would be nice. Here's the same script made with the forum blocks instead:
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if><key[ space ]pressed?>
<change y by( 5
<wait( 1 )secs>
<change y by( -5
<say[ I jumped! ]for( 2 )secs>
<end>
<end>
[/blocks]
Ugh.

But I understood more quickly with the forum blocks... 

Really? Here's a little translator:
[ ] = command block edges/text field
( ) = reporter block edges/number field
< > = predicate block edges/boolean inserter
{ v} = drop-down menu
|  _______}
| |_______ = C-shaped block edges
| ________}

But it takes a lot longer. Dx

I always just take pictures of my scripts... It makes your post look a heck of a lot better 

Same here, but it also takes a lot longer.    I never realized we were missing 34 blocks! That's a bunch!

If you want to build your own, you can try to take a picture of scripts when there are none. A little red box comes up (dismiss that) and all the stripes in the script area vanish! 

  I just tried it, and it's SO AWESOME!!! 

BUMP.

Another thing! Look at this: [script variables ((a)) < >] That's the textified script variables block from BYOB, but the double parentheses transform on their own, and make the rest of the text ugly and bold. I didn't even type the [blocks] and [/blocks][/blocks] tags!

If you do type the blocks and /blocks tags the text won't get ugly and bold 

And if you select the "Never show smilies as icons for this post" thing, the forum blocks won't work - fixing your problem. 

If you don't want to do that, put [b][/b] tags between the parentheses - that'll fix it.

On topic: I WANT THE FORUM BLOCKS UPDATED

When I ask andresmh, the most common response is that to update even the very few things, would take like an entire day's worth of work - so he doesn't have the time to do it. He recommends that if anybody knows PHP and wants to work on it, to do it with the Scratch Website source code and stuff, as it would be greatly appreciated 

That sounds like nothing will ever get done... 

When 2.0 is released, I hope the forum blocks will get updated - otherwise, we'll be stuck with the prehistoric 1.1 blocks. Dx
